FPV update guys Trying to simplify my ground station a bit... right now I have the RX with a custom battery cable going to it (3S Li-Po), then a long AV cable going to EasyCAP and my goggles. RX is on a box w/antenna and laptop is heavy to carry around...

So I'm going to mount everything on a tripod like many people do going to grab a DVR so that way I can record without my laptop, much easier. Also going to get a patch antenna, that way I can mount the DVR on the tripod or the pack of the patch antenna and no worry about cables going everywhere.

The other day I left my dx7 on over night. It has a lipo in it. OOPS! The guy at the LHS told me to connect the battery to the charger for a 12v starter battery for no ore then 30 seconds. It worked but I was sooooooo scared the whole time. I don't know whether I was more scared because the battery could explode in my face or because a replacement lipo was $80 GO GLOW

Hmmm I've got an idea. Maybe it would be a good idea to get a 5.8 GHz vTX if I'm looking for simplicity to work with the built-in 5.8 GHz RX in my goggles. This way there's no ground station needed... but I would need a cam onboard to record, or maybe a HD one that can also be used for the live feed... hmmm....
